Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I had a bunch of samples I received, and since they were still past their expiration date, I used them. I have very dry skin. It was a single-use sample, so I only used it once, but it was great. The texture isn't super soft, but rather hard. It's about the same as Nivea. I didn't notice any scent. It wasn't too sticky, and my skin felt moisturized the next day. I recommend it for people with dry skin. Since it's a single-use sample, I only used it at night.
Suddenly, I started to worry about dry fine lines around my eyes, and while searching for a highly moisturizing product, I came across this cream at AEON. I tried the tester and found that the cream had a loose texture and spread easily, creating a film-like barrier, which felt like it protected my skin from dryness in a pleasant way. When I applied it, it was as if my skin didn't even notice the dry air! I hadn't heard of the Dr. Phil brand until then, so I looked it up and found out it was a KOSE product. With a subscription, you get 1+1 for the first time. And every third time after that, they offered a generous 1+1, so I signed up for a subscription right away without buying it at AEON. I now use it every morning and night. I love how it blends seamlessly into my skin without feeling sticky, even when applied generously. I regularly undergo laser toning, so I need thorough UV protection and moisturizing, and this cream seems like a great addition. (I also bought the Protect Repair Balm from the same series, both in color and no color. The balm is quite thick and rich. I recommend using it during the day.)
I changed my rating from 5 to 6 stars. Since I received the gel and started using it as part of the line, my skin has recovered even faster. The cream strengthens the barrier on the surface of the skin, while the gel hydrates the skin from within. I plan to continue using both the cream and gel together! ------- I received a sample in-store some time ago and liked the feel, so I bought it. The thick cream doesn't irritate the skin, and it feels like it forms a protective film on the skin. Since I started using this cream, the redness on my face has gradually subsided. I recently purchased the gel as well, so I'll compare them to see which one suits my skin better.
I have very dry skin, so I bought this product and it's very moisturizing. I thought it would be sticky because it's a thick white cream, but it's surprisingly not sticky at all! My face doesn't get oily right after I wake up in the morning. It's a lifesaver for dry winter skin.
